Mark HansonAieaWAAAAAAA WAAAAAA Call the Wambulance!! Oh my god are you in the wrong profession! You negatively whine about every aspect of teaching. Yes, we all have jobs that we can complain endlessly about, but come on, you chose to teach children. I would have respect for you if you had picked out all the wonderful things about teaching, but because all you did was whine about all the awful things about teaching I have no respect for you. You give teachers a bad name. You should re-think your career.

Mr. Conboy, you and a lot of others weren't paying attention when legislation was passed by Congress starting with Republican initiatives in 1979 on the "get govt. out of our business" platform of the Ronald Reagan when Republican sponsors started dismantling the Glass Stegall Act of 1933 until 1999 when Republican sponsors of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 toasted at a party attended by members of Congress and the Treasury to "R.I.P. 50 years of Glass-Stegall" regulation. Over a period of years this deregulation has allowed banks to merge into New York centric conglomerates whose work ethic now resembles casino gambling. Allowed because small investors like mom and pop's money by hook and by crook was put where they knew it would lose because swaps/derivatives betting allowed some to "win" obscene amounts of money they wouldn't have been entitled to under Glass-Stegall. Even as we speak, they are still awarding themselves huge bonuses and slapping each other on the back as they build multi-million dollar homes in the Bahamas. It's a separate ring of people who, as planned, prosper, and it isn't based on any democratic ideal benefitting the people.

Why is this so hard for people to see? Things financially would be much worse today if Phil Gramm was in as Treasury Secretary.

Quit lying you left wing kook.

You are correct about the repeal of Glass Stegall as being the single most significant trigger to the housing bubble which lead to most of the current economic challenges.

But it was a BI-PARTISAN bill. Sponsored by Democrats AND Republicans. Passed by a Democratic controlled legislature.

Bill Clinton. a DEMOCRAT SIGNED IT.

So if you want to study history for blame, at least be honest or everything you say is suspect.

From you post, it is obvious you don't even know what the glass-stegal act was.

ABC,CBS,NBC still would not identify the Fort Hood Murderer as a MOOOOSLIM ;)

The recent indictment and arrest of Aurora resident and Afghanistan immigrant Najibullah Zazi on terrorism charges has again put a spotlight on the problem of Islamic radicals plotting acts of violence. But a book released this past week raises the question of whether our nation's response to the terrorist threat is being deliberately undermined by U.S.-based organizations whose mission is the eventual Islamization of America.

"Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America," was released Oct. 15 and is already gaining attention from national lawmakers. Four members of Congress have asked the House sergeant-at-arms to investigate allegations in the book of double agents placed inside Congress by the Council for American-Islamic Relations.

Such allegations will be dismissed as alarmist by many, but critics will have to confront the book's extensive documentation. Its authors are investigative reporters David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, who have national security backgrounds and solid reputations.

The most controversial part of the book is the relationship between CAIR and the international Muslim Brotherhood, a relationship that has both financial and ideological aspects. The Muslim Brotherhood is highly organized and operates in both public and covert realms. One of its avowed missions is to bring Sharia law to America as one step in the destruction of Western civilization from within.

the incompetence of our poorly educated teachers who chose to slam the door on children is a disgrace.

alice, seriousely please shut up for once. you are truly someone who is to stupid to even be allowed to breathe. you write stuipid comments because you apparently have noone else to talk to. please leave. really. you wont' be missed. you are just a child who enjoys seeing your comments up on a website. you are a very sad person. I'm sure you will comment on this in your same non intelligent way because you have nothing better to do. go ahead. I have a life and won't read it anyway.

I tell the trurth...Hawaii is at the bottom of the national educational sacle primarily to poor teaching. That is the biottom line. Teachers need to face what they are and take command of their profession.

You could pay 10 times what teachers now get and there is NO WAY you could get me into teaching.I can't see how they can stand it...Especially with all the support everyone is giving them these days. Thankless job.

Honey you got that right. Sometimes my pay is on the bottom of the scale but I make things rise to the occasion. And I do take command of my profession, hun *wink*

THIS is far more important and dangerous than all the Manini stuff on this board !
